Can't stop, won't stop

Diabolo Nightmare (1907)

Directed by Walter R. Booth this is a short film from the silent era. A clerk is unable to stop playing with his diabolo and gets in all sorts of odd situations.

Pretty simple as a trick photography film there is not a huge amount to remark on here. Little sets the film out from similar but it is a well made effort. A little bit more attention to having a plot would not have hurt here.


3/5
